 I'm really sorry to hear this brother. Keep the faith though, sometimes you have to go all the way down before you can rise above.

 Just don't forget that you still have friends, and more importantly you still have life. Now's the time to start pulling yourself back up; the rest will all fall back into place. It'll be a long battle, and a long climb, but you can do it, and it'll be worth it!

I do lots of ketamine.
Probably more ketamine than most people can imagine. A couple grams a day most weeks.
I make myself sick, horrible stomach pains - i think i might have ulcers. Sometimes i puke in the morning, really bad nausea.
its a love hate relationship - as of today ive been high for a week straight. Ill do 4 lines at a time...
im in a situation where im happy and everything is going my way, i can afford to be an addict.. mostly.
More or less im in debate with myself over wether its worth it to be this messed up. Is it ethical.. i find myself easily able to justify my situation...
Ive got my bills paid, a wonderful relationship, eat pretty healthy, have a nice house, an easy going lifestyle, good friends, etc..
The main thing is.. i have nothing to focus on.. im 21, i should be going to school or have a direction in life but really - im just meandering along.
My parents are going to help me buy a truck this summer - that should force some responsibility upon me.. *shrugs*

I don't know anything about ketamine, but if this is a time when everything is going your way, maybe it is the perfect time to put an end to it. It's much harder to kick anything when everything is not going your way.
If not now, when?
Or is it never?

Whatever you have to do... but remember, winter is usually lonelier and boringer.
Good luck dude.

Ech, I hate the thought that I'm going to forever be a struggling addict. You know the people that feel they struggle with sexual entanglement their whole life? Or the ones that have trouble eating too much/unhealthily? I'm neither. My one vice is substance abuse, and I fear that's how it will always be.
It doesn't bother me too much after having struggled through multiple painful withdrawals, I know I have the will power to stay off for a while. But what bothers me is that i don't feel like I'm able to use a substance responsibly. I can never just "keep something around" like my girlfriend can. If it's there, it's going to be used.
Oh the joys and pains of opiates. I even know why I feel the need to use them. A lot of people talk of opiates making them not care, well opiates make me do care. They make me care alot more than usual, they intensify my feelings, which I don't feel are strong enough usually, which in part is due to a relationship where I ignored my gut feelings for a long time when i was being treated like shit.
My family history doesn't lend itself much to avoiding substance abuse either, part Native American, part Lithuanian, and a whole slew of northern Europeans as well.
Well here's to those of us that know we're here. Good luck, 'cause I sure as hell need it.

Well, I've started smoking weed about a year ago, this summer I started smoking almost everyday. I've had fun during this summer, but now my parents found out (yeah, I still live home which ain't a bad thing), I can see the sadness in their eyes and the lost of hope for me, they told me about addiction and all which I didn't really believe a word (well, I thought I was better than addiction). So, after a little conversation with the old folks, I've decided to stop, as I don't want them to be sad and all and I need to take myself back for school (I've passed the first week of school stoned).
So here I am, I've been on this forum, reading and documenting myself since I am an adept of mushroom (I do them about once a month or 2). I searched on the forum for this kind of thread and here I am.
I didn't think it would be so hard, I always think about smoking, everything that bother me seems to be enhanced badly, black ideas ... I always thought of weed as ... well ... weed. I knew I had an addictive personnality so it doesn't really suprise me in the end.
The biggest surprise was this morning, (I've cleaned my stuff yesterday and told friends to stop calling me to hang on around weed), I had the first real morning, I opened my eyes at 7am, jumped out of bed with such energy that it surprised me.
Anyway, good luck everybody, watch out for boring moments, they are the hardest.
--------------------
Shrooms are something any lost human being should try. Why think sober when you can trip and explore your mind out of the consciousness stress.

Good for you. You are lucky that you didn't let it drag on for years like so many of us.

I'm trying to kick cigarettes for the third time starting today...I got so pissed at myself for still smoking even when I know it's a filthy and disgusting habit. I handed a co-worker what was left of my pack and WILL quit - this time for good. I hate cigarretes because you get locked into a pattern/routine where it's not even about smoking anymore - it's just your routine. I've gone months at a time in the past without smoking but will somehow manage to slip once or twice and get hooked right back on into my routine - the problem for me is that I'm completely surrounded by it. EVERYONE at school smokes, and damn near everyone at my job smokes too.

You have to have something else to do for every single occasion you normally have a cig.

Now it is fall, and i haven't done K in a couple weeks. Feeling great, if not a little bored. However, the blessing is, the connections have been severed (through issues of theirs, unrelated.)
When i think of maybe doing a little k, sometime in the future im filled with a deep seated sense of revulsion for myself. I feel the pain ive caused my friends and myself much more in this current moment of clarity, you might say, perspective has never been clearer.
I used to gloat in the fact i could be a sustainable drug addict, but am hoping to rebuild myself before its too late (as im 22 now).. into something productive mentally/physically/spiritually and ambition wise.

I'm going to try and self-detox this weekend from opiates. Does anyone have any advice? Anything I can do to fight off the withdrawals?
My dealer was busted, and has to go to jail, so I won't be able to get anymore. I figured this was a good time to try and self detox. I also happen to be going to Voodoo Music Festival the 26th to the 28th. I don't want to be miserable while there, and the supply I have right now wouldn't last until then.
So, what are some things I can use to get off this shit? I plan to get some benzos, but I may not be able too. Any OTC drugs I can use?
Tonight will be my last nod....
Wish me luck.
